The OG THC Vape Brand Kicks Off Month-Long Celebrations With a $10K Last Prisoner Project Donation, Commemorative Pen and Promotions at Dispensaries Nationwide TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SLANG Worldwide Inc. (CNSX: SLNG) (OTCQB: SLGWF) ("SLANG" or the "Company"), a leading global cannabis consumer packaged goods (CPG) company with a diversified portfolio of popular brands, today announced the Company’s industry-leading vape cartridge, O.pen, is celebrating a decade of success and adult-use cannabis legalization in the state of Colorado with the number 10 appearing in multiple incentives throughout October, the 10th month of the year — starting with a $10,000 donation to The Last Prisoner Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to criminal justice reform. A tried and true industry leader, O.pen helped redefine modern cannabis by introducing an elevated consumption experience and popularized the 510-thread vape pen, a universal battery that supports any cannabis cartridge and now is the industry standard. To mark this milestone achievement, O.pen launched its special edition 10-Year Anniversary 2.0 Battery and limited-edition, commemorative THC cartridge packaging that’s designed to honor this milestone for both the business and cannabis legalization as a whole. “It’s rare for a brand in the cannabis industry to withstand the test of time, much less for ten years,” said Brittany Hallett, Vice President of Marketing at SLANG Worldwide. “O.pen was on the front lines right as recreational marijuana was legalized in Colorado and to say we’re proud that we’ve come this far is an understatement. While it’s certainly been a ‘long, strange trip’ during these ten years since adult-use cannabis legalization, we're looking forward to another decade as Colorado’s favorite cannabis vape pen.” Founded in October of 2012, O.pen came to market with a strong product that differentiated itself during the height of the industry’s “green rush.” At a time when the industry had an air of get-rich-quick schemes and shady business practices, O.pen was the first brand to singularly put consistency, repeatability and trust above all, while focusing on reaching new non-endemic audiences. O.pen was also one of the first cannabis brands to do in-store education via pop-ups, give away its batteries for free, offer a lifetime product warranty—which still exists today—and utilized sleek branding that fostered trust with consumers and support broadening the reach for the typical cannabis consumer. Since the brand’s inception, O.pen has sold upwards of 12 million total vape products across oil and hardware formats. According to cannabis research company BDSA, O.pen has held the top spot for “Best Vape Cartridge Brand in Colorado” for a total of 20 months since 2019, further supported by the 10 awards that the brand’s THC cartridges have won. O.pen has decorated the cartridges’ packaging with gold markings and a silhouette of the pen to honor the Company’s alignment with Colorado’s 10-year anniversary of cannabis legalization. “We chose The Last Prisoner Project as the beneficiary of our donation because we see it as a symbol of the friction that still exists in the cannabis industry today,” Hallett said. “O.pen has benefited from the value of the cannabis plant for 10 years as a business, while there are still people serving life sentences in jail for cannabis trafficking. We see it as an acknowledgment of how far we’ve come, and how much work there is still to be done for social equity in cannabis.” In addition to Colorado, O.pen licensees in Florida, New Mexico, Maryland and Massachusetts are participating in promotions intermittently throughout October, with the offer amount subject to change.

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 29, 2022) - SLANG Worldwide Inc. (CNSX: SLNG) (OTCQB: SLGWF) ("SLANG" or the "Company"), a leading global cannabis consumer packaged goods (CPG) company with a diversified portfolio of popular brands, today announced the opening of its first recreational cannabis store in Vermont on October 1st, marking the Company's entry into the newly legalized recreational market. Operating under the Company's Ceres Collaborative cannabis group, which brings together two of today's most innovative cannabis operators, SLANG Worldwide and CeresMED, the storefront is located in the heart of Vermont's capital at 190 College Street, adjacent to the Church Street pedestrian mall in downtown Burlington. Centrally located in the city to benefit both local consumers and tourists with its 1,500-square-foot dispensary supported by 20 full-time employees, the dispensary is well-positioned to play a leading role in Vermont's evolving recreational cannabis market which is estimated to reach $265 million in annual sales by 2025.1 Drew McManigle, Interim CEO of SLANG, said, "Our initial entry into Vermont's medical cannabis market a few months ago strategically positioned SLANG at the forefront of the next high-growth recreational market. Ceres Collaborative group is deeply rooted in the community as Vermont's longest-running dispensary. Now, operating one of the first adult-use dispensaries in Vermont, we are leading the next phase of the state's cannabis industry, bringing our market leading CPG cannabis products to a significantly wider consumer audience through the state's well-recognized Ceres brand." SLANG has been serving the Vermont market for over 6 years by offering its industry-leading, O.pen cannabis vaporizer through the state's medical program under its longstanding partnership with CeresMED. The Company expanded its presence in Vermont's medical cannabis market in June 2021 through its acquisition of High Fidelity Inc. (Hi-Fi), Vermont's largest medical cannabis company which operates the Ceres Collaborative cannabis group. Through the acquisition, SLANG gained a vertically integrated operational footprint in Vermont, which included CeresMED's existing medical dispensaries and a 28,000-square-foot cultivation and production lab, and retail distribution facility, along with two medical cannabis licenses. SLANG has consolidated CeresMED's three currently operating medical dispensaries under its brand portfolio and has added two new greenhouses that will produce up to 1,500 cannabis plants a year. "CeresMED has been a proud and active member within the Vermont community since 2012," said Russ Todia, Chief Operating Officer at CeresMED. "Through SLANG's industry leading position and Ceres Collaborative's extensive operational network, we look forward to working in conjunction with local growers and producers and alongside respected national brands, to create a unique, Vermont-forward cannabis experience in our downtown Burlington dispensary. Through education and empowerment of the community, CeresMED was instrumental and hands-on in helping to cultivate the cannabis industry within Vermont for the last 10 years. Now, we are eager to extend this into the adult-use program, and to welcome cannabis consumers of all levels into our stores throughout the state." Ceres Collaborative has been a long-time advocate for adult-use cannabis retail sales in Vermont, and through CeresMED's deep roots in the state's medical program. Ceres Collaborative positions itself to continue its mission of educating the public, the healthcare community, local regulatory bodies and state officials on the medical and economic benefits of cannabis. Due to work with the Vermont Cannabis Trades Association (VCTA), where CeresMED represented experienced cannabis operators on subcommittees of the Cannabis Control Board, CeresMED helped stimulate discussions about how to implement a public safety-focused and inclusive adult-use market. About Ceres Collaborative Inc.Ceres Collaborative has achieved a number of distinctions in its ten-plus years of operations-including its title as Vermont's oldest cannabis operator and the first vertically-integrated business unit of SLANG Worldwide. With an emphasis on community, true to its name, Ceres Collaborative has partnered with local growers and producers to curate a Vermont-forward product selection. As Ceres has grown, so have its regional partnerships, from advocacy groups and tourism boards to health care providers. The company has also expanded into outdoor cultivation and established a full on-site commercial kitchen headed by a classically trained chef. Ceres is a unique model for how cannabis operators can grow cooperatively while staying true to their values-in this case, to provide robust support for local agriculture, create quality local jobs, and set the tone for patient satisfaction.

New Alchemy Naturals products include Sleep, Relief, De-Stress, Intimacy, and Daily gummies formulated with THC, CBD and other minor cannabinoids and nutraceuticals which have demonstrated the ability to support the intended effects.

The launch of Alchemy Naturals is a milestone achievement in our ongoing efforts to create a unique and diverse portfolio of today's most demanded THC and CBD products. It should also be noted that in less than a year, the SLANG team has formulated, developed and rolled out a high-quality edible brand which combines cannabinoids and adaptogens in a unique manner. These all-natural products offer an effective experience for consumers looking for a healthier and better tasting gummy." McManigle continued, "SLANG has created a distinctive brand and product offering in the Colorado edibles category. With this market continuing to grow at a record pace and increasingly being recognized as the 3rd largest category behind flower and vape, with gummies being the most preferred type of edible, our ability to expand and strengthen our portfolio further build upon our leadership position in the cannabis market. Furthermore, by immediately releasing Alchemy Naturals into two different distribution channels - CBD & THC- we are strongly positioning SLANG to deliver meaningful growth and revenue going forward as we continue to expand into new geographic markets." ¹BDSA Colorado About SLANG Worldwide Inc.
